Feature Req: Jump to time in movie streaming

I really do not know if this is the correct place to post it. But in my opinion it should match.

It is annyoing if your dlna streaming is interrupted by anything. Be it slow wlan connection, network errors or just because someone want's it.
BUT!
I think many people have no problem to start the movie again. But here comes it. Lets say you are watching lord of the rings (extended edition) part 3 and your stream crashes after 2.5 hours of watching...
I think you allready know what i mean.

Question:
How long would it take to fast forward at the current state to the position you were?

Answer:
I do not want to calculate it. It is better you do not know it... (guess: 30min+)

Solution:
How about a function that you can use and just jump to a time in the movie? Lets say you open it through the options menu and you are asked to what time you want to go. Just insert the time: 1-8-0 and hit ok!. And you can go on watching the movie. If you missed the exactly spot where you were it is no problem. The fast forwarding will help you to jump a couple of minutes but not hours! This easy function has another advantage. If you want to show friends some nice scenes of the movie you can do so without saying: "Lets wait 20min fast forwarding the movie then you can see what i meant!". Ok not every movie has 4hours but at least 90min. Even that is a lot of time to fast forward!

+1 for the idea of entering the "jump-to" time in minutes using the keys. I like that!

On a side note: what would also work, if the fast-forward would supported larger factors (e.g. up to 128x) Then, jumping to 2:30h would take 70sec, which still would be ok.

For USB, this should work in any case, which would be great.
But I've read somewhere that not all DNLA servers don't support "time seek", only "ff/rev" and maybe "byte seek". In that case, even if the TV supported it, it might not work over DNLA.

Do you mean a higher fast forward speed is not supported by dlna servers or the jump-to feature?
I think jump-to couldn't be that hard because the tv allready knows where he is maybe 20:26 and he knows how long the whole file is because he shows an which position he is.

BTW / Media player user Interface (e.g. 42PSL7456K/02, FW Q5551-0.14.84.0):
- Not only the current time, but also the total time should be displayed while playing back videos.
- Long filenames with length of up to 250 chars are common with all actual OS, but shorted to unreadability. On an endless wide Full HD screen. My 100 bucks external media player is displaying long filenames on a PAL CRT TV. As "ticker under cursor".

The feature itself would be nice but i doubt it that we will see it implemented in the near future.

Anyway... Try out Wild Media Server it does all you want. Even live transcoding for dts, fixed 720p video playing (yay no more egg heads) and you can watch from an intervall of x minutes (1, 5, 10 and so on) so you can just jump to the time you want

"Resume Play" is not merely 'a feature' it is 'default behaviour' for all/any streaming devices
No "Resume" at all on Video streaming is a programming mistake only a rookie could make
Renders Video streaming almost redundant on Philips TV
= However much Philips invested in this useless feature is money wasted

Hi Patco,
The standard procedure when it comes to the indication light in front, is to test the power supply on in the TV. The easiest way to do this is to leave the TV without power for a while...
